Spatial distribution of canine rabies evidence from NVRI data and published studies. A vast majority of local government areas (LGAs) are without observed canine rabies evidence, notably ten states capitals. The LGAs with evidence from published studies only are scattered across different states but concentrated in northeastern states of Taraba, Adamawa, and Abia. The map was created using ArcMap software (ESRI Inc., Redlands, CA, USA). The shapefile was retrieved from DIVA-GIS (https://www.diva-gis.org/).
